    Milan: suit below €1,500?

    Deplano make suits for €800+vat which is below 1,000 Fabio Sodano starts from €1,700 instead. Which remains too high for me. No idea about small differences. But also Deplano are bespoke and you can personalize. You go directly to their premise and seems to have big followers. For me 45...

    Solaro by Vitale Barberis or Drago?

    has any of you tried any of the two above? Are supposed to be lighter than the original Solaro and more fit for warmer climate. Never seen them live though. Thanks in advance.

    Milan: suit below €1,500?

    have been searching around, and could find some old tailor doing a bespoke for €1,200 + the cost of the cloth. Assuming €100/meter and 3 meters needed, overall we are above €1,500. Problem is that with these old men you cannot see what they do, since they either come to your place/office or show...

    bespoke tailor - pants outsourced?

    Thanks a lot for the clarification but then really I struggle to see what the guy i order the suit from does in practice... I give him directions and guidelines that he will have to transmit to third parties....what would be the difference if I interacted directly with those third parties?

    bespoke tailor - pants outsourced?

    Is this because jacket is the important stuff? Or else? Can you trust a tailor who doesn't do your pant? It is supposed to be bespoke, and I would like to deal with the responsible one directly

    Solaro suit : original or not?

    I have almost decided to pull the trigger on a bespoke solaro suit. The only thing I am undecided yet if I should go the original Solaro, which is terrific but heavy and for sure not a summer fabric here in Italy, it choose a different brand like Piana/Zegna /Caccioppoli which have lighter...
